Launching during Zurich Pride Festival, the exhibition spotlights Bartsch's trailblazing influence on fashion, performance, and LGBTQ+ culture. About the exhibition: a night out in six actsThe exhibition 'Transformation!' at the leading Swiss design museum offers an immersive celebration of Susanne Bartsch's life, artistry, and influence, structured like a night out in six evocative chapters: 'Welcome!', 'Hair and Make-up', 'Getting Ready', 'Queuing', 'The Club' and 'Lounge'. Unveiling a full-scale 'club' and showcasing over 35 of Bartsch's most iconic outfits, each section captures the creative chaos and vibrant community of Bartschland. 'This exhibition is not just about clothes—it's about celebrating individuality, creativity, and community. It's such an honor and I'm thrilled to bring my world back to Switzerland, where my journey began' says Susanne Bartsch. Visitors are greeted by Bartsch herself in a life-sized welcome video, then guided through curated installations that highlight her collaborators, from makeup artists and costume designers to underground style icons. Archival videos, fashion ephemera, and rare photography reflect her enduring role as a cultural connector and LGBTQ+ advocate.

Her parties became epicenters of creativity and community, especially for queer artists and performers. With her legendary Love Ball in 1989, Bartsch mobilized the fashion world to support HIV/AIDS awareness, a cause she continues to champion today. Swiss Textile Heritage: St. Gallen, from embroidery to the red carpetSusanne Bartsch's avant-garde fashion celebrates Switzerland's legacy of textile innovation, especially the craftsmanship of St. Gallen, a city renowned for its exquisite embroidery since the 19th century. Bartsch has influenced generations of trailblazing artists and fashion legends, including Thierry Mugler or Lady Gaga, who wore a gown made with St. Gallen embroidery by Nicolas Jebran at the 2019 Met Gala. The city's artisans have long dressed royalty and celebrities alike, most notably, Michelle Obama wore a custom Isabel Toledo ensemble featuring St. Gallen lace at her husband's 2009 presidential inauguration.

The best and worst looks at the 2025 American Music Awards
The 2025 American Music Awards were held in Las Vegas on Monday night. Jennifer Lopez hosted, and Janet Jackson received the night's Icon Award. Celebrities like Ciara stunned on the red carpet, while Shaboozey and others made fashion mistakes. In case you missed it, the 2025 American Music Awards were held in Las Vegas on Monday night. Jennifer Lopez hosted the event, Janet Jackson accepted the night's Icon Award, and numerous celebrities showed up in eye-catching fashion. While some looks were standouts, others missed the mark entirely. Here's a look at the best and worst-dressed stars of the night. Jennifer Lopez stunned in a skin-baring gown. Defaïence designed her light-brown halter dress. It was crafted with flowing fabric that extended into a train across the purple carpet. Large silver rings held the below-navel baring dress together. Lopez completed the daring ensemble with platform sandals and long diamond earrings. Heidi Klum should have picked a different outfit altogether. She wore a black Stephane Rolland minidress that was designed to look like an oversize blazer. Unfortunately, it was so large that the effect was lost entirely. The garment also had a ruffled train that didn't flow very well along the carpet. Instead, it looked like a pile of excess fabric on the ground next to her. Wayne Brady looked cool and classic in a printed suit. Some panels of his suit were tan and others were a deep maroon, creating a fun and eye-catching contrast that highlighted its unique diamond pattern. The actor's suit was also perfectly tailored, making his outfit even sharper. For accessories, he chose brown patent-leather dress shoes and a two-toned Rolex Submariner watch, which usually costs around $13,000. Shaboozey's ensemble was a little chaotic. Etro custom-made his five-piece ensemble. It included a white blouse with a black-lined bowtie, a leather vest decorated with studs, floral-printed blue jeans, a checked blazer, and matching chaps. The latter garment would have looked better if designed as pants without blue jeans underneath. He also could have forgone his vest to better highlight his standout jacket. Ciara sparkled in silver and diamonds. She wore a strapless bodysuit from Bronx and Banco, which was embellished with rows of crystal fringe. The metallic shade complemented her blonde hair and luminous skin, while her layered diamond necklaces and bracelets added more glamour. Heidi Montag wore a catsuit that looked more like a stage costume than a red-carpet outfit. Designed by The Blonds, the royal-blue piece had a structured bodice, a sharp neckline, and long pants with flame-like fringe at the ankles. Though parts of the outfit worked, like its all-over sparkle, other elements did not. The long pants, for example, overwhelmed Montag. A minidress made from the same fabric would have better suited the reality star turned musician. Kendra Scott stood out in silver. The jewelry designer — who has a net worth of $460 million, according to Forbes — arrived on the red carpet in a metallic dress from Maria Lucia Hohan. It had a single strap that crossed her collarbones, a deep neckline with a small cutout beneath it, and a wrap skirt. The unique shape of the dress complemented her figure, and its deep color beautifully suited her dark hair and silver jewelry. Read the original article on Business Insider

Nancy Tyagi or Neha Bhasin? A social media post reveals who really brought chain corsets to India
Cannes Film Festival 2025 has been a major hit for India this time, as several social media influencers and actresses, from Sarah Sarosh to Janhvi Kapoor and Nitanshi Goel, stunned the red carpet at the French Riviera. Apart from the debuts, influencer Nancy Tyagi walked the red carpet straight for the second year in a row, but it seems her red carpet look this time didn't sit well on the internet, especially after singer Neha Bhasin alleged that the influencer misrepresented the outfit's origins. She accused Tyagi of falsely claiming her beige outfit at the Cannes Film Festival was self-stitched. How did the fashion feud brew The whole controversy started when singer Neha Bhasin recently took to her Instagram Stories and accused Nancy of falsely claiming that she had stitched her own outfit for her second look at the Cannes Film Festival. She went on to share an image of a similar outfit that she donned at one of her concerts in the past. The 42-year-old singer did not stop there; she went on to share some more stories, mentioning, 'This corset looks too familiar, hmmmm. Just wondering'. While the next story's caption read, 'Same Same'. She stated that the dress is from The Source Bombay, which is a fashion brand with an outlet located in Bandra. Lastly, sharing a post featuring the same outfit, she wrote, 'I rest my case'. But what's the reality? Well, the news broke out. Surbhi Gupta, the founder and stylist at The Source Bombay, while speaking to The Free Press Journal, stated that Nancy had bought the dress from their store, which she claims was stitched by herself. Gupta quoted the report, ' She did not stitch it herself, which she claims she did. The cape she wore doesn't belong to me... that's something she seems to have made herself, I guess and she bought the outfit for ₹25,000 before going to Cannes.' But is this the first time a celebrity is seen donning a chain corset? Let find out. Tight laces and royal graces: The curious tale of chain corsets in India Amid the ongoing feud, an Instagram page called Diet Sabya, an anonymous account on the platform, India's biggest fashion police social media handle, shared some details about the design of chain corsets and their origin in India. The platform shared some stories on its Instagram, saying that it clearly looks like it's from The Source Bombay. The next few stories included a discussion about the copied and non-copied debate of Nancy's outfit. This is when the page revealed that it is neither Nancy Tyagi nor Neha Bhasin, but the design was originally copied from 'The Blonds.' The pioneer of this chain corset is the iconic ballroom brand from the 2000s called The Blonds. According to DietSabya, the Blonds were the ones who first made it, and then everyone copied it. Finally, the last story noted, 'It was the 'Raakesh Agarwal' who started the chain corsets in India. Why did Neha Bhasin call out Nancy Tyagi? Later, Neha went on to mention, 'The intention was not to demean another woman but to state a simple fact. We have all worked hard to be where we are. We are all self made'.
